Between "The Hunger Games" and "Marvel's The Avengers," 2012 is rapidly becoming the year of the archer . and another bow-wielder joins the fray this weekend in "Brave," Pixar's latest effort and first feature film led by a female protagonist.

"Boardwalk Empire" actress Kelly Macdonald supplies the voice of Merida, a princess who does everything possible to resist her fate in a male-driven medieval society. She does not want to be married off to some noble she doesn't care about; she wants to pursue her own path, living freely with her treasured bow and arrow at her side. But circumstances eventually change for Merida, leading her down a path that even she couldn't have envisioned for herself.

By many accounts, "Brave" continues Pixar's trend »
